movie review - Prophecy III

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2001.06.18

This is, of course, the third in the Prophecy series starring Christopher Walken. In this chapter, our angel-who-fell-to-earth is keeping an eye on the unfortunate half-man, half-angel that's been sired to lead a revolution against God. It's the weakest of the movies, though Walken is at his leathery best.

Since the VCR I watched it on was a 25-year-old clunker, I think I missed a fair bit of the dialog and visuals to the movie. I intend to watch it again, some day. Maybe.

Not recommended.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
